I bought this for my kids, checking carefully to make sure it was compatible with Mac OS X, only to find out that it wouldn’t install at all. After searching online, I found several other people had the same problem. Very disappointing! Rating: 1 / 5

Bought it for my 7 year old. First computer crashed. But that could be a coincidence off course. And never worked properly on lap top. So it’s somewhere collecting dust. Rating: 1 / 5

I was torn between this one and Mavis Beacon. But I read in a lot of reviews that there were bugs in the Mavis Beacon one. So I bought this and I’m so glad I did. My son (8) sat down with it as soon as I installed it and was so excited to start playing. He even got up early to play again the next day. It tracks your child’s progress (WPM and accuracy) everyday and you can set their goals higher as they learn more and pick up speed. There are a lot of fun games to play while they’re learning to type. There is a map they have to work their way around as they learn each row on the keyboard and the main goal is to reach the castle which you can only do with speed & accuracy.
I’m very pleased with this and would recommend it to anyone.
I have Windows 7 and there were no problems installing it and so far I haven’t noticed any bugs in the program either. Rating: 5 / 5

Good product , but for kids 5 y and older. Younger than that it’s too complicated. Rating: 4 / 5

This is a great product and my 9 year old actually is liking typing with it. It does teach them the skills they need to learn and makes it fun at the same time. Rating: 4 / 5
